A project to enhance some of Lincolnshire’s most used roads will also get under way this month. These include the A158 Partney roundabout and A158 Burgh le Marsh roundabout at Spilsby.

Subject to weather conditions all of these roads will be upgraded by August.

Andy Ratcliffe, LCC area highways manager, said: “We inspect roads on a regular basis, and any safety defects found will be repaired within timescales stated in our policy. The same applies if a member of the public reports a defect, and on a B road a pothole would usually be repaired within seven working days by a gang working locally.

“If anyone notices a pothole I’d encourage them to report it online on www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/highwaysreporting or ring our Customer Service Centre on 01522 782070.

“Our naming by the Department of Transport as one of the top performing local authorities, was based on our ‘asset management approach’, which means we try to make the most of our funding from the Government by having an understanding of the network and carrying out permanent road repairs at the right time.

“This doesn’t necessarily mean our road network will be pothole free, but it does mean that when a road is repaired or resurfaced, it should remain in a good condition for many years to come.”
